Brownstoner Puts Together the Pieces
From Brownstoner: http://www.brownstoner.com/brownstoner/archives/2007/09/fort_greene_cli.php
A mash-up of the Fort Greene & Clinton Hill District Expansion proposals. Include the Wallabout proposal (http://www.myrtleavenue.org/WallaboutCulturalResourceSurvey.pdf) and you’ve got a lot of this section of northern Brooklyn which is surveyed but still unprotected.
The three proposals have a lot in common – in a good way.
All three of these surveys were written by architectural historian Prof. Andrew S. Dolkart of Columbia University and were funded by Preserve New York, a grant program of the Preservation League of New York State and the New York Statew Council on the Arts. All three also have wide-spread community support and the support of local Council member Letitia James.
Now, the ball is LPC’s court….
